Padikkal menggantikan Rohit Sharma, yang mengundurkan diri dari Tes pertama karena alasan pribadi.
Devdutt Padikkal, who was asked to stay back after India A’s tour of Australia was over, has been added to the squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25. The southpaw had scored a solid 88 against Australia A earlier in the month at Mackay and had made his Team India debut earlier in the year. With a healthy first-class average of 58.57, Padikkal’s inclusion will help strengthen the batting-depleted team.
Padikkal & Dayal added to India’s squad
According to RevSportz, Yash Dayal, who was part of India’s squad for the New Zealand Test series, has also been added to the squad as a travelling reserve. Team India are already carrying three reserves: Mukesh Kumar, Navdeep Saini, and Khaleel Ahmed. Right now, it’s unsure whether one of the reserves is injured and exactly why Dayal has been added to the team before the India vs Australia 1st Test.
